Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 But when the rumor of the dukes reuolting was published amongst the people, they left words, and fell to bestowing of stripes: for being pricked with these euill tidings, they ran in great outrage vpon all the Flemings, Hollanders, and Burgognions, which then inhabited within the citie of London,Spoile vpon the Burgog|nian people in London. and the suburbes of the same, and slue and hurt a great num|ber of them before they, by the kings proclamation, could be staied from such iniurious dooing: for the king nothing more minded than to saue innocent bloud, and to defend them that had not offended. The officer at armes was willed to tell his maister, that it stood not with his honor to be enimie to the Eng|lish nation; and that his dutie had béene to kéepe his ancient truth and allegiance, rather than to be occa|sion of new warre. And what a new reconciled eni|mie was in respect of an old tried fréend, he might shortlie find. [When the messenger with this answer was dispatched, W. P. and vpon consultation found, a mat|ter standing both with good policie in forceing the proud subiect to know his obedience, and also with great equitie to twitch a quareller with such pinsars as wherewith afore he had nipt an other, so was it a|non brought about, that sundrie of his good townes and cities rebelled against him, whereby (lesse to his liking than to his deseruing) he was verie well made to bite of a chokepeare of his owne grafting.]

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Anno Reg. 14. The death of the duke of Bedford re|gent of FrãceThis yeare the fourtéenth daie of September died Iohn duke of Bedford, regent of France, a man both politike in peace, and hardie in warre, and yet no more hardie than mercifull when he had the victorie, whose bodie was with all funerall solemnitie buried in the cathedrall church of our ladie in Rone, on the north side of the high altar, vnder a sumptuous and costlie monument. Which toome when king Lewes the eleauenth, by certeine vndiscreet persons was counselled to deface, affirming that it was a great dishonour both to the king and to the realme, to see the enimie of his father and theirs to haue so solemne and rich a memoriall:A worthy sai|eng of a wise prince. he answered saieng,

After the death of that noble prince the duke of Bedford, the bright sunne in France toward Eng|lishmen, began to be cloudie, and dailie to darken, the Frenchmen began not onelie to withdrawe their obedience by oth to the king of England, but also tooke sword in hand & openlie rebelled.
